+cosninocanines Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 From the My Account Details page and under Search Options is a link for list newest in US. I'm having trouble with the link after it takes me to the next page. I change the State to Arizona but the results that come back are for Alabama. Any thoughts on what's going on?
+Miragee Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Slightly OT . . . I never use that Search feature, but just did, and for California, these were the results: Total Records: 38015 - Page: 1 of 1901 No wonder the site has problems once in a while . . . I actually don't see the link "Newest in U.S." on My Account page . . .
+cosninocanines Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks briansnat for getting this in the correct spot.
+cosninocanines Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 It just isn't working I tried California and still got Alabama. I access this link from My Account Details page right side under Search Options and the link "List newest in" United States. This takes me to another page which has a drop down list of the States. This is where it gets squirley no matter which State I enter I get Alabama. My goal is to find the newest cache locations in Arizona.
+BlueDeuce Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Have you set your home coordinates, or whatever it is that sets your state? Sounds like you don't and are pulling up the newest in the US which would start with Alabama.
+Miragee Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 That's odd. I only have "List newest in California" and then "View nearby benchmarks." I don't have a link to choose "List newest in United States."
+BlueDeuce Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) That's odd. I only have "List newest in California" and then "View nearby benchmarks." I don't have a link to choose "List newest in United States." Yeah, I checked all my kids' account but I had already set the home coords, so I don't know if an unset account shows US. I would have to assume that if cosninocanines is getting the list newest in Az option it should go right to the cache listings. Edited April 3, 2007 by BlueDeuce
+cosninocanines Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 Checked and the home coordinates are set and correct, the zip code on the set up page was wrong and I changed that but it did not solve the problem. All the rest of the searches from the hide and seek page work and the Search for nearest caches on my Account page works it is just this silly find nearest link that does not work. I tried to use a Pocket Query with Arizona and all placed within the last week and it comes up with none found so I don't know if that is the case or it's not working either. Anyway all help on this is appreciated.
+Miragee Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Which boxes did you check in the PQ? Sometimes, checking too many boxes will cause one variable to cancel out another. This is the way I get some of my PQs:
+cosninocanines Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 On the PQ I kept it to a minimum checking only active in the last 7 days, picking Arizona from the drop down list of States and placed in the last week. There may not be any new ones so the fact that the PQ was empty does not mean it did not work I just don't know. On my previous post i said nearest I meant to say Newest. Still trying to resolve this.
+baloo&bd Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 That's odd. I only have "List newest in California" and then "View nearby benchmarks." I don't have a link to choose "List newest in United States." I don't hava a US link either, only Illinois.
+cosninocanines Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 This is what I see: Search Options Search for nearest caches from your home coordinates (filter out finds) List newest in United States View nearby benchmarks Update home coordinates If I click on the United States I get this: Searching for... All Geocaches By State/Country Country United States State/Province Arizona (AZ) I hit the seek button And get the results for Alabama very frustrating
+tozainamboku Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) This is what I see: .... And get the results for Alabama very frustrating Go to the Edit My Account Details page. Make sure where it says Country you have selected United States, then there should be a second box where you can select Arizona. Enter your password in the Verify Password box. Click Update My Account at the bottom of the page. You should now have the option to List newest in Arizona. For Raine or whomever looks at this: If you enter http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=2 - you will see the behavior the OP is describing. Edited April 4, 2007 by tozainamboku
+cosninocanines Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 BINGO that did the trick the United States was there but the State was blank. Thank You! to all who worked on this and made suggestions I really appreciate it.
